Is it possible that she caught her nail on something, but not hard enough to break it all the way off? I would definitely take her to the vet as soon as possible, though, if she's lethargic and not eating. I hope she feels better soon. :)

Why are you asking us? Take that poor animal to the vet asap and have a proffessional look at that paw. I had a cat that came home with a cat bite on her foot once and we took our time getting her to the vet and ended up putting her down cos she had gangrene and her whole system went septic. I really loved that cat but was stupid and I will always live with the guilt. dont make the same mistake

that's no longer a brilliant number of indications to circulate on. enormously lots you have advised us your canines has developed a limp. i would not be too in contact if the throwing up isn't unusual. and that i've got a question there. Is she vomiting or basically bringing issues back out till now they also have a threat to hit the tummy reliable. Is it extremely heaving vomiting or is she basically style of gagging and bringing stuff out. With the limp, i could first verify her paw to be certain there is no longer a tear on the pad as this could reason a limp. yet do be careful and gentle via fact if something is amiss with the leg you're able to be able to wreck her. the terrific thank you to envision the pads is whilst she is mendacity down and you're able to be able to get down and characteristic a glance. The vet is often your terrific answer once you have a question like this. till you get her there, watch her and if it starts off to get any worse, this is important to apply the emergency selection your vet has listed. reliable luck and happy Thanksgiving

Take the dog to the vet IMMEDIATELY! Your dog may have an infection in the nail bed or toe and if left too long he could DIE or lose his leg. please take him to the doctor. you wouldn't just let your child go on with this problem would you?

yeah take your dog to the nearest vet and maybe you could cure you dog. Or observe your dog maybe for 1 day or so and if the symptoms continue, bring your dog to the nearest vet. A dog can survive even if they will not eat for a day, just give the dog water and store your dog in a cool, comfortable place where your dog can heal. maybe your dog don't have appetite because your dog is in pain. well they have feelings like us. just observe your dog and we wish your dog will be fine...

TAKE HER TO THE VET!!! There's usually a 24 hour emergency vet hospital within an hour of your place. Or call around to vets...the answering machines leave the vet's home number so you can call in case of emergency

Sounds like she has got her toe nail caught or snagged on something. Soak her paw in epsom salt/warm water. should draw the infection out..

call the vet!
if you can't see something in her foot, either there is nothing or there is something that is small, a weed or glass perhaps. Otherwise she could have a sprain. Regardless, she needs to be seen.

Sounds like a clot or something, take her to a vet right away, otherwise she could lose her leg.
